I am writing after reading the letter to editor on Aug. 21 titled "A summer of poisoning waters." The Natick resident has her facts wrong. The best thing that ever happened to Lake Cochituate and Fiske was the treatment for invasive weeds. I have lived here for 35 years. The lake has never been cleaner. The fish are more abundant and swans and duck families are present in many places on the lake. I live on Lake Cochituate and see the wildlife everyday. I also now will allow my grandchildren to swim in the lake without the fear of weeds entangling them. We boat, fish, and swim on the lake. It's about time something was done!
